Here — above and below — are a couple of amazing works of Men’s Rightsy propaganda I missed in my survey of deviantART yesterday, both from a fellow calling himself alexlartwork22. And, yes, they both seem to be meant completely seriously.
Thanks, Tulgey Logger and Cloudiah for finding these! Is anyone else reminded of Chick Tracts here? The crude drawing, the melodrama, the excessive word balloons?
My post yesterday inspired (or at least provided the excuse for) rather a lot of comments, many of them rebutting a Men’s Rightsy fellow calling himself Good. Below, a graphic from Katz memorializing one of Good’s more, er, memorable pronouncements.
He’s also kind of sad, making an obvious copy of the GTA font which is slightly off. If he’s going to put in that much effort….
I don’t think the GTA guys can stop him from using the font, all he’d have to do is purchase it from someone.
But what happened to the men’s faces in the first cartoon?
@crazyladyblues: He’s obviously a tortured, deep artist. Art is haaaaaaarrrrrrrd. Who has time for faces?
It’s okay, Nitram, we all want to nibble Falconer’s little bundles of joy! Or… I mean… At least I do…
Anyways, it’s totally okay and normal because SCIENCE!
I should not be surprised that his GRRL POWAH women are highly objectified. And yet ….
@dustydeste: I am side-eyeing that link so. hard.
Nibble away! Just not too hard. And don’t let my boy get ahold of your finger. The next thing he’ll do is try to
use Swallow Wholechew it, and he has two teeth.I think the 3 things are love, honour and obey. Doesn’t explain why he’s holding a carrot in each hand though.
The way Alex puts his name everywhere, including the sky in the first picture, he’s clearly worried that someone might try to appropriate his artwork and pass it off as their own. I think he can rest easy. Also, what’s going on in the second picture? Did the money jump out of the guy’s pockets? And now the woman is chasing it? If he’s broke because he spent all his money on her, shouldn’t she be walking off with the money arm-in-arm or something? Why does it look like they’re in the world’s worst discotheque? This is harder to decipher than a Hyeronimous Bosch painting.
Yes, yes that is the GTA font, sorta.
This dude is an artist like I’m a doctor.
@Falconer:
Too… much… cute… babies… everywhere… dialogue… Shatnerian… coma ensuing…
@Falconer: That link probably deserves that side-eye. Mostly because I’m pretty sure that someone in the chain of people involved in collecting, interpreting, writing up, and trying to understand the write-up to do an article about the data is completely science-illiterate. My money’s on the person who did the media article, myself.
But still, SCIENCE!, amirite?
But hellkell, you are a doctor. You have a PhD in Swearology and Banishing Asswaffles.
Oooh, I want to do a degree in Swearology! Where’d you study, hellkell?! Inquiring minds must know!
From Cloudiah’s link:
The MRM is welcoming to women, folks! You heard it here first.
Swearology? Does that refer to the really disgusting potty mouth I acquired about a year ago? If so, I WANNA GET A PhD IN SWEAROLOGY!
To be fair, katz, that account was apparently created just to make that comment, so I suspect someone is trolling r/mr (just like MR-Edmonton is trolling a whole city).
Careful with that. Too much, and you wake up in lip-lock with Leonard Nimoy because the power of fandom, that’s why.
Hellkell didn’t study. Hellkell invented swearology.
Yay, I’m a Dr.! My mom’s gonna be so proud.
Dustydeste: I went to the prestigious Manboobz University.
Hey, when trolls say a woman never invented anything, I want my invention pointed out! 🙂
They have been rendered faceless by the horrorz of living in a feminist dystopia!
@Cloudiah
That link is great. You get typhonblue defending the poster for its sarcasm (depicting MRAs in the lens they imagine feminists see them), completely unaware that MRAs keep being outraged by sarcastic depictions of feminists by feminists. You know, the U of T student’s type of joke (I forgot her name, the one on Register-Her) based on MRA tropes of feminists.
I’m also amused by typhonblue’s feministo-misandric response to ‘you must make the best sammich’.

“One of the reasons we are interested in looking at who pays for dates is because it is one arena where women may be resisting gender changes more than men,” study researcher David Frederick, an assistant professor of psychology at Chapman University in California, told The Huffington Post. “As social roles start to change, people often embrace the changes that make their lives easier, but resist the changes that make their lives more difficult.”
I’m an autodidact in Swearology: I just
use this handy linkread Shakespeare.See? A BA in English is good for something!
dA is a cesspit as it is. There’s tons of people passing themselves off as “artists” when my younger sister could draw better than them (no seriously, she can. I think she’s an alien).
